The wrap is just protective cover,should peel off easily. As for the rusty wheel insides,I think you mean the brake disc. It's just surface rust which will brush off as you apply brakes.

Nothing to worry bro,enjoy your Lion. tongue.gif

I don't believe 1.6 Civic can keep up with our 1.6THP. I've smoked 2L Civic. He would catchup when I slow down for traffic. But when I step on the pedal,torque pulled away denying him even my tailpipe smoke!

Something is not right with your ECU,might need a flush and reset!

I believe he was referring to Civic Type R EK. Stock output around 180hp.

Actually I was very keen on the turbo diesel and followed the introduction closely. Lost interest when only NAs hit our shores. Didn't bother to test drive. Understand it's got pretty good handling. Any idea how the handling compares with our turbo.

Focus? the car handling is good for a NA. But i don't like their Electric Motor Driven Power Steering (EPAS) system, 408 T's electro-hydraulic steering feels much more meaty and confident at high speeds. Heck even 408 NA pure hydraulic steering is more my cup of tea, i don't know why i just like thing a bit old fashioned i guess

I think in short Ford handling is overrated

Believed thats a modded EK. It is kinda impossible to find an unmodded EK in the market nowadays.

Hi all,

read this yesterday...

sharing in case you may want to know

Imagine a PSA that Peugeot family no longer control

Dongfeng, French gov't to take stakes in PSA, report says
October 12, 2013 6:00 AM

PARIS (Reuters) -- PSA/Peugeot-Citroen is preparing a 3 billion euro ($4.1 billion) capital increase in which Chinese partner Dongfeng and the French government would take matching stakes in the carmaker, people with knowledge of the matter said.

A French delegation of executives, government officials and bankers is heading to China for talks to prepare an outline for a deal that could be signed within weeks, three sources said on Friday. They asked not to be identified because the negotiations are confidential.

Under the draft agreement, which PSA hopes to conclude this year, state-owned Dongfeng Motor and the French government would each contribute 1.5 billion euros and acquire 20 to 30 percent of the carmaker, the people said.

The Peugeot family would lose control of the company because the cash injection would dilute its 25.4 percent stake and 38.1 percent in voting rights.

The capital increase would be accompanied by an expansion of DPCA, the PSA-Dongfeng joint venture in China, adding more PSA vehicles and technology to target other markets in the region, the sources said.

Part of the new capital would be raised through a rights issue in which the Peugeot family would sell new stock to the French government, the sources said. The remainder would be raised in a reserved capital increase.

GM stake

The 3 billion euro cash injection would amount to 68 percent of the French carmaker's 4.39 billion euro market value. It would be worth about 40 percent of the new share capital and also dilute the 7 percent stake held by General Motors Co.

PSA, which is among the worst casualties of a six-year European car sales slump, is seeking more cooperation with Dongfeng or another automaker as it struggles to cut costs and losses that have threatened its survival.

"Peugeot confirms it is studying new industrial and commercial projects with different partners, as well as the financing to accompany them," a company spokesman said, declining to elaborate. "None of these plans have yet reached an advanced stage."

The French finance ministry declined to comment. Dongfeng officials were not immediately available out of office hours.

PSA is slashing jobs and plant capacity. The French automaker entered an alliance with GM last year and sold a stake to GM in a 1 billion euro capital increase.

The Peugeot family indicated it was ready to give up control as the company carried out initial soundings on a Dongfeng tie-up, while attempting to revive talks on a deeper alliance with GM.

The future of that pairing could be affected by Dongfeng's level of influence over PSA in any expanded partnership, GM Vice-Chairman Steve Girsky told Reuters last month.

Earlier this week, China Business News reported that Dongfeng might pay 1.2 billion euros for a 30 percent PSA stake.

PSA CEO Philippe Varin said in July that PSA was on track to beat its 2013 goal of halving its industrial cash burn to 1.5 billion.

Went in to Puchong SC for my 10k service. Went it at 8.25am for 8.30am appointment and was only attended by the SA at 9.05am. Counter service was chaotic and they couldn't organized themselves.

Car went it at 9.15am and out at 12.40pm. almost 3.5 hours of wait. They reset my gear box after I complained on gear jerking. Drive is quite awesome now.

Total damage RM393 (free labor + upgrade to Total oil). Got a Peugeot mug FOC.

Gear transition is much smoother now. No jerking as of now. Seems to be quite powerful also. But this can also be attributed to after service effect. But overall, it's a much enjoyable ride now. Quite happy rclxms.gif
